COE Implementation Defined
Doctrine is final

Standard force structure completed and
final

Training and exercise products
DEMONSTRATE understanding of COE
constructs and concepts (seminars, LTP,
terminology, graphics, briefings, AARs,
etc.)

Change OB to Force Structure

TRADOC Centers/Training
, Sunup rf Divisions

Training Required Prior to Implementation

Each training center/division must identify and
send the right person(s) to the COE i'l l

Training course on COE Exercise Design
More I l ls per year.

Internal MTTs using standard package provided
by TRADOC DC SINT.

COE Training Conference (exercise design,
doctrinal instruction)

Contractors, O/Cs, Lanes personnel, exercise

designers, training audience need i'l l .

i'l l include an example COE exercise OPORD

Environmental Variables

Physical Environment

- Urban Environment

• no simulation effectively replicates

• standard replication of LOS, protection, population,
communications, transportation, etc.

Nature/stability of the state

- N/A

Sociological Demographics

- Noncombatant and paramilitary replication in
simulations

TRADOC Centers/Training
, Sunup rf Divisions

Environmental Variables (cont.)

Regional/global relationships

- Multinational replication currently scripted in
TSDs (if this changes, TSDs would require
resources to do this live /in simulation)

Military capabilities

- Standardize OPFOR force structure and
parameters/work arounds for all simulation
models

Information

- Exercise design must allow effects of IW

TRADOC Centers/Training

, Sunup rf Divisions —

Environmental Variables (cont.)

Technology

- Standard force structure, 'tiering'

- Accurate portrayal of cell phones and other
communications and collection/EW systems

Supra-national organizations

- Not currently a TSD issue, but would need resources

National Will

- Exercise design must address (purpose of tasks,
etc.)

TRADOC Centers/Training
Sim port Divisions

Environmental Variables (cont.)

Time

- Execute certain elements of the
MDMP/deployment (and have them
O/C'd/AAR'd) in advance.

- Constrained to those COE situations that can
play out in 30 hours.

- Exercise design must not constrain the
commander from executing 'redos'.

Economics

- N/A

TRADOC Centers/Training

, Sunup rf Divisions —

HICON Transition Requirements

• HICON personnel require COE training

• HICON personnel must have access to standard
workarounds

• Augmentation and/or increased personnel to address
noncombatant, paramilitary and multinational
requirements

TRADOC Centers/Training

, Sunup rf Divisions —

FM 7-100 Series Implementation

• Refine and describe typical purposes of tactical
offensive and defensive tasks

• Doctrine for OPFOR naval and air operations

• Naval systems in WEG

• Intel models need to be accurate in terms of sensor
capabilities, blue and red

TRADOC Centers/Training

Sunn art Divisions —

OPFOR
Organization

• Targets for common scenario (Bes, target folders,
etc., unclass).

• Differing TO+Es for like type units (ex: differing
numbers of battalions in brigades, etc.

TRADOC Centers/Training

.Support Divisions

OPFOR

Equipment

• Standard parameters and workarounds

• Double check CBS parameters load with planned WEG

TRADOC Centers/Training

, Sunup rf Divisions

Changes to ROE

• Exercise director directed constraints that are
not in concert with 7-100, do not provide for free
play, do not permit even chance to win (CSA
Guidance)

TRADOC Centers/Training
, Sunup rf Divisions

Comments

• Implementation Directive from
appropriate chain of command (FORSCOM,
CONUS As, TRADOC, CINCs) with
implementation dates and milestones
(includes directed training and a seminar)
•Have FM's FINAL.

•Must receive standard force structure,
software updates to simulations

• Disseminate TTP for replicating adaptive
techniques in simulations

• Develop method of sharing current
workarounds and parameter changes for
all simulations

TRADOC Centers/Training

, Sunup rf Divisions

Make FM's FINAL!

"Only accept realistic training... if you're
not trained for combat, if you're not trained
realistically, you die. And living and dying is
a quality of life issue obviously, and you
owe that to your soldiers to give them first-

class training."
